It can be fun for a few hours to run around, indiscriminately beating on undead soldiers, knocking them off of cliffs, and sneaking up behind them to stick a sword in their bac Read full review. I bought this just to have something a bit different from what I already owned for the PS3.
Typical of the PS3, the graphics and sound are excellent. The gameplay isn't bad, and the storyline is decent. The controls play well, and some of the fighting is pretty good. It does tend to get a little repetitive, but, what hack-n-slash doesn't? Overall, it's worth the time it takes to play the game through. Some of the tasks are a little harder to complete unless you find a walkthrough or "cheat" guide on the internet.
I read some reviews before I bought the game and they were average at best. But as I started playing the game, I found that I really liked it. I am a hack and slash fan, and the graphics on this game are really good. I like the fact that it is not easy to get through the levels, even on normal mode. The sneak mode is really nice and original. I haven't past it yet, since I have limited time to play it, but I highly recommend it. Much better then Oblivion, which I found borring.

Sold by rarewaves-usa About this product Product Information Legendary warrior Skarin faces his biggest challenge yet in the Norse realm of Asgard: prevent an apocalypse by defeating an undead army led by a banished goddess.
Viewed from a third-person perspective, Viking: Battle for Asgard casts players in the role of the sword-swinging Skarin as he fiercely hacks and slashes his way through hundreds of combatants. The world in Viking is comprised of three islands, each offering wide-open areas to explore. The action is divided into two distinct phases: the first involves Skarin roaming freely throughout each island, while the second involves taking part in large-scale battles. During the exploration phase, players can visit villages, complete side quests, and earn money.
Skarin will also be able to free imprisoned Viking warriors on each island so they will join his army. Money can be used to upgrade weapons, acquire magic-enhanced runes, and learn new combo attacks. After a certain number of Vikings have been freed, players will be granted access to a battle sequence that pits their army against the goddess Hel's forces. Once the two opposing armies are engaged, Skarin must play a pivotal role in battle by singling out rival commanders, eliminating healers, and performing other strategic moves so Odin's army has a shot at victory.

Viking: Battle for Asgard is a very nice hack-and-slash game. It's really not difficult to play and is still very enyoable. The huge battles with thousands of soldiers really makes the game supurb. All this publication's reviews Read full review. Extreme Gamer. Viking: Battle of Asgard is a great game for what it wants to accomplish. Sadly, Viking is one of those games that could have been great but thanks to repetitive hack-and-slash gameplay there is really not much here even Odin would approve.
The battles stumble thanks to chug, the worlds get repetitive, and when you're not really interested in the story or your ultimate goal, hack-and-slash gets on your nerves no matter how many times you cut a guy in two.

Vikings were never really Sure, the story could've been a lot better but I think the game's simplicity is one of its strong points. Vikings were never really known for there complex personalities. This is a good game, if not a great one. I had a lot of fun exploring the huge environment, the fighting mechanics are simple, yet deep enough for it to warrant some thought.
Despite all the bad reviews I think this is a game worth experiencing. I liked it! I bought it used for 10 bucks.. I didn't care for the story or the game I liked it! I didn't care for the story or the game mechanics, but the difficulty level was tough. I actually got stuck on one part and couldn't figure out what to do. It reminded me for a second of how games were back in the day. The final battle was tough as hell, but other areas of the game could have been tougher.
If you started gaming sometime after the year you probably won't like it and wont find a walk through or cheat. If you've been gaming since the 's its a great bargain bin game This was a good game. It is very like God of war Which I rate a The reason I rate this a 8 is becuase obviously not as great as god of This was a good game.
The reason I rate this a 8 is becuase obviously not as great as god of war but still a good game. Viking suprized me and I'm very surprized the reviews were so low. I'd like to give viking an 8 but relative to other games I rated 8 it seems Viking suprized me and I'm very surprized the reviews were so low. I'd like to give viking an 8 but relative to other games I rated 8 it seems out of place so my 7 rating should be viewed as a very high 7.
Ok, where to begin? I can't understand the low reviews on this game. It had a few issues but none serious and it was a very very fun game. It seems to be inspired by God of War and maybe it was viewed as a cheezy rip off and that was enough to rate it low. I don't know but I certainly don't agree with the low rating. The rating and review by CalsonC is very accurate to my own thoughts and so i will expand some more on that review. First off I think this game didn't get a fair chance by many players.
If anything the game is very quilty of starting off way too easy and the cinematics aren't on par with God of Wars and maybe explains why so many people turfed this game so easily and reviewed it badly before they even played the entire game. As i look on this site so many people are saying the game is only 10 hrs and is very repetitive. This is quite untrue. It seems a lot of people must have only played the first island and think they beat the game. The first island is around 10 hrs and as i said the game is pretty guilty of starting off too easy so i can understand people thinking the game is nonsence if that is as far as they got.
But after the first island the game really gets good. By island two you are now in control of your moves available and start to gain an appreciation of enemy rank and who to take out first so that you are not mobbed.
By island 3 you are an extreme viking expert. The game is very nicely paced and gets progressively more difficult but is paced well with the skill you will aquire as you play. The final boss is a really good challenge.
